Amritsar, June 27, 2026: Reaffirming the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government’s unwavering commitment to preserving India’s spiritual heritage and strengthening the values of Sanatan Dharma, AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann joined thousands of devotees at the ‘Ek Shaam Bhagwan Shivji Ke Naam’ bhajan evening in Amritsar, where they unveiled a series of landmark initiatives to further enrich Punjab’s religious and cultural legacy. These include the construction of a grand temple dedicated to Mata Sita, Mata Janaki and Luv-Kush in Amritsar, the expansion of the Mukh Mantri Teerath Yatra Yojna with new pilgrimage routes, the staging of the spiritually uplifting play Hamare Ram across Punjab from August 1, and the ongoing ₹80 crore restoration of Patiala’s historic Kali Mata Temple.
Emphasising that Punjab’s soil has always nurtured faith, harmony and brotherhood, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann reaffirmed the government’s commitment to preserving revered places of worship, promoting spiritual tourism and ensuring that the religious aspirations of the people are honoured with sincerity and devotion.
Welcoming the gathering at the ‘Bhajan Sandhya’ (devotional evening), AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal said, “Today, the Punjab Government has organised ‘Ek Shaam Bhagwan Shiv Ke Naam,’ hosted by Hansraj Raghuvanshi. Many people came to me and said that never before has any government organised a ‘Bhajan Sandhya’ like this. This is the first government to hold bhajan evenings in this manner for the people and to strengthen their devotion. Earlier, such a programme was held in Jalandhar, and today it is being organised in Amritsar.”
Announcing the first good news, Arvind Kejriwal stated, “The series of Ek Shaam Shiv Ji Ke Naam, which began in Jalandhar and has now reached Amritsar, will soon be organised across all 22 cities of Punjab. ‘Bhajan Sandhya’ (Devotional evening) will now be held in all 22 cities.”
